All been done before!

This, subject to testing, will be my winter setup.

Almost identical set-up to me, if you find the velcro strap allows to much wobble & bounce and the other slips forward drop me a PM i've modified mine just perfectly.

I think I probably will! I have to admit, having followed recommendation to buy the twofish thingummy, I am a bit dubious about its general jiggliness! Not sure when I'll actually need to try it out though. Came close to being useful this evening.....

I found the twofish to be pretty awful with a Fenix LD20 attached, admittedly it was off road, but not especially rough. The plastic mounts from DealExtreme are much more stable.

I've got a Topeak X-tender thing on my Tricross permanently, well half of it anyway. The rest gets added when I need the lights which is usually a Fenix and Cateye EL320. This all sits below the bars and no cable shadow either as I can't work gears.

Suppose it's not that rare, since my mate Tom has two as well. Just the other day my brother and I went to the pub with him and one of the locals said 'Here's Tom with the two arseholes'...........

I'd also mounted my Smart light on the underside; the neatness & space saved makes up for the switching inconvenience. Anyone got a better lockblock for attaching torches than the twofish one, which reviews badly for nigh-on £10 (Inc. p&p)?

Fantastic idea but did you really have to post that here? You've just cost me a trip to Evans and £16 !!
